I'm back.....I'm seeking to be "Lost in His Presence"

I know I have been away for a long time.

On the hair front not much has happened. I did install another set of yarn braids. I have retained some length but I haven't been experimenting with styles just working on tweeking my regimen.

On the music front. I have new music but I'm not quite ready to review yet.

But what I am ready to talk about is Vashawn Mitchell's "Believe in Your Dreams" CD.
I'm listening to the track title 'Lost in His Presence'.

Now I'm wondering why does it seem that the body of Christ has lost its desire to be in the presence of the Lord. Lost the desire to be consumed by the things of God. Lost the desire to want to please Him above all others. How has the body become a people that search for loopholes to fulfill the lusts of the flesh and still believe that we are in the will of God and He will still say Well done thy good and faithful servant. How do we expect a well done if we aren't doing His will but our own will?

Now is the time more than ever to really seek the face of God and to get to know His voice and His will for us. Now is the time for praying and fasting and consecrating ourselves before God. We have chased our own agenda for so long that most of our prayers are spent asking God to do what we want, how we want and when we want instead of praying His word and His will for our lives. We need to sacrifice our will and way for His. Then all these things will be added unto us and He will give us the desire of our hearts.

So the next time you call someone "deep" or say "they are so heavenly minded that they are no earthly good" think about it really hard....is it really wrong to want to spend time with God, to worship Him, to have an intimate relationship with Him. To live for Him and not just offer lip service. Are you saying that because they are daring and striving to reach a standard that you are not willing to sacrifice to meet.

Just some thoughts....feel free to comment.


May the peace of God and the Sweet Communion of the Holy Spirit rest, rule and abide with you.

Smooches.

Here are some of the lyrics.

Lost In His Presence
by Vashawn Mitchell

If by chance you look for me
And you cannot fine me
Don't you worry, I'm alright
I am where I want to be
I am lost in His presence
I am consumed
By the glory of Jesus
The everlasting King

I'm rejoicing with the angels
Lifting my voice to sing
Of the power
Of the everlasting King

In His presence
In His presence
I'm so honored to be
In the presence of the King
I am here
Don't wanna leave
The presence of the King

In His presence
In His presence

I'm so honored to be

In the presence of the King
In the presence of the King

I am here

Don't wanna leave
I don’t wanna leave no, no, no

The presence of the King

I am here
Don't wanna leave
The presence of the King

I am here yea, yeah
I am here Lord
I don’t ever wanna leave oh…
Oh thank you for it allow me in your presence Lord

But I don’t ever wanna leave no ho, ho…
Oh I worship you Lord

Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Don’t nobody bother me hey

I need my joy
In his presence the fullness of joy
So I’m not gonna leave no

Hallelujah Jesus
Oh my God I worship you yea… oh
Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy
The presence of the King…
